Mr Dheeresh Tripathi

My life has taken me through more worlds than I ever imagined when I began my career.

For nearly two decades, I served as an officer in the Indian Army. I have lived and worked in places and situations that taught me about leadership, courage, friendship, responsibility, uncertainty and the many different sides of human nature. The Army gave me discipline, but it also gave me something else that has stayed with me as a fascination with people and their stories.

After leaving the Army, I moved into the world of education, leadership development and entrepreneurship. I became a founder, built organisations, worked with young people, designed training programmes, studied human behaviour and spent years trying to understand what makes people succeed, fail, change and grow.

And somewhere along the way, I started writing.

Writing has given me the freedom to explore all the worlds I have encountered in my life. Sometimes I write about history and ancient civilizations. Sometimes about ordinary people and complicated relationships. Sometimes about soldiers, mysteries, mythology or questions that have no easy answers.

I am the author of The Indus Valley Code, Windows of Life, SSB Interview: A Modern Approach, SSB Interview: A Modern Approach, and Social Studies for Competitive Exams. My research into the Indus Valley Civilization and ancient trade has also led to published research papers.

I am also a Fellow Member of the Screenwriters Association of India and have begun developing stories for film and OTT alongside my books.

Perhaps the variety in my life is what ultimately shapes my writing. I have been a soldier, a leader, a teacher, an entrepreneur, a researcher, a speaker and now, a storyteller.

I don't think I have one particular kind of story to tell.

I simply write about the things that make me curious.

History. People. Relationships. Courage. Mystery. Civilizations. Human choices. And sometimes, the questions that refuse to go away.

I hope that when you read one of my books, you don't just finish a story.

I hope it stays with you for a little while.
